Abstract:
In an increasingly digitized and connected world, resources that protect users in
virtual environments become increasingly indispensable, within this the concept of
cybersecurity becomes very important, since it constitutes a series of tools and
practices that aim to user protection in a virtual environment, but even with these
protection devices, crimes in virtual environments are happening with increasing
frequency, making it necessary to have legislation that covers such problems. A
famous case of cyber crime that will be addressed in this work was the attack on the
Superior Court of Justice, where the servers were inoperative for days, being
considered the worst cyber attack on a public body. Within this context of legislation,
the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) is present, which aims to establish
parameters for the security of capturing, storing and handling data from users of any
digital platforms. Thus, this work aims to present the applicability of the LGPD in the
context of the cyber attack suffered by the STJ.
